Henry Ford II and Cristina Ford at the 24 Heures du Mans (24 Hours of Le Mans) Race, June 1967

Henry Ford II had reason to celebrate at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans. The win by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt in a Ford Mark IV was Ford Motor Company's second consecutive victory at the French endurance race, following the company's 1-2-3 sweep with the GT40 Mark II in 1966, and a further triumph over rival Ferrari.
